Big game, great cause Saturday

Bulldog Sports Radio is throwing a party for Mississippi State fans and for a good cause.

The on-line network will host a State-Bama watch party starting at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Burger and Blues Restaurant in Ridgeland to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Mississippi.

Bulldog fans and friends are invited to come cheer the Bulldogs as they face the No. 1-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide.

The game will be shown on a big screen in the dining room and throughout the restaurant, and 10 per cent of sales of all food ordered during the game will go to Make-A-Wish. That’s not all. Raffle tickets will be available for great prizes at just $5 each, and 100% of the raffle sales will go to Make-A-Wish.

Prizes include a pair of tickets to the Nov. 17 Arkansas-Mississippi State game, as well as a helmet and football autographed by Dan Mullen, and a baseball autographed by John Cohen. Gift certificates from several Jackson-area restaurants and businesses also will be available.

Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The late Kent Hull, the Bulldog great and Mississippi Sports Hall of Famer, was a long-time supporter of Make-A-Wish Foundation.
